Open photos in Photoshop from Lightroom to perform advanced editing or retouching such as creating composites by combining parts of multiple photos into one, adding graphics or text, or using your photos in other creative projects.

Open your Lightroom-edited photo in Photoshop to combine it with other images or graphics, retouch parts of the image, remove unwanted elements, apply text, or other advanced edits. When you save your work in Photoshop, the updated image automatically appears in Lightroom and your original version is saved.
